'Digital⇌Culture 2018' explores the varied links between digital and
cultural processes. Digital tools such as social media, mobile devices,
video games, data analysis infrastructures, and networked technologies
increasingly permeate our everyday lives. As a result, the production
and expression of ‘meanings’ or ‘values’ – like the experience and
performance of identity, gender, embodied lived experience, political
activism, linguistic engagement, knowledge and power relations – are
increasingly co-constituted by digital platforms.
This one-day conference, which includes keynote speeches from Prof. Tim
Jordan (University of Sussex, UK) and Dr. Katrin Tiidenberg (Aarhus
University, Denmark), aims to bring together researchers from a wide
array of disciplines with an interest in digital culture. Visit

*Submission*

We invite proposals from diverse disciplinary backgrounds to present
theoretical and empirical research in response, but not limited, to the
following topics:

- How can we meaningfully study the relationship between digital
platforms and the activities they enable?
- What is the relationship between features of digital platforms and the
communicative acts they mediate?

- How can we understand the value landscape of digital entertainment?

- How do features of digital platforms become re-appropriated as
resources for the construction and performance of identity, and to what
extent does this in turn shape perceptions of the platform?
- How do digital platforms participate in knowledge-creation and the
establishment of dominant discourses?
- How do digital platforms affect the aesthetic and artistic practices
of mediation?
To encourage proposals from doctoral students, we are awarding six
joint-travel/accommodation grants to successful proposals. Further
details below. There will be _no fee_ charged for presenting at, or
attending, this conference.
Submissions should follow the below format and be submitted to
*(digitalculture2018 /at/ gmail.com) *by 23:00 GMT on *Friday 9th February 2018*.

We are pleased to offer six joint-travel/accommodation grants, each of
which includes one night’s accommodation at the University of Nottingham

The grant is open to all doctoral applicants, but at least three of the
grants are reserved for non-M3C-funded applicants based at the DTP’s six
institutions (Uni. Of Nottingham; Nottingham Trent; Birmingham City;
Uni. of Birmingham; De Montfort; Uni. of Leicester). Those currently
funded by M3C are _not eligible_ to apply for this grant. This grant
will only be offered to doctoral students whose papers have been
accepted for the conference.

applications.
